the address field of a browser.

A login screen displays. For further configuration see section Web management interface.

To connect to the system via LAN and static IP configuration

The CU018 has a fallback LAN configuration in case of DHCP is provided and this method is well suited

for wireless configuration.

1) Connect the Ethernet cable to the LAN port of the CU018.

2) Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the computer.

3) Configure the computer with a static IP address of http://10.0.0.10/and a subnet mask of

255.255.255.0.

For help configuration a static IP address on your computer, check the instructions or online

help that came with that computer or operating system.

4) On the computer that is connected to the same network, enter the IP address of the CU018 in

the address field of a browser.

A login screen displays. For further configuration see section Web management interface.

To connect to the system via WIFI access point

The CU018 has a dedicated WIFI that acts as access point and provides a dedicated configuration WIFI

network called roofSec.. This configuration allows full flexibility for the LAN/WIFI

configuration and the authentication process.

1) Configure your computer to update all WIFI networks and search for roofSec.

Each CU018 provide a unique WIFI SSID name.

For example: roofSec.b827eb1c48fe

2) Connect to the roofSec-Portal WIFI without any password needed

3) On the computer that is connected to the CU018 WIFI, enter http://10.3.141.1 in the address

field of a browser.

A login screen displays. For further configuration see section Web management interface.

http://10.3.141.1/

3.2 NETWORK CONFIGURATION The network configuration screen allows you to configure your LAN and WIFI configuration in order to

connect the CU018 to the roofSec cloud service.

The roofSec cloud service is mandatory for a full functionality of the leakage detection and monitoring

system.

3.2.1 Ethernet Connection

The Ethernet/LAN connection allows you to select between DHCP or Static IP configuration.

DHCP/Static IP

By default, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is enabled. If your LAN includes a DHCP

server and you have enabled DHCP, the CU018 gets its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway

settings automatically from the DHCP server on your network when you connect the CU018 to your LAN.

- IP Address. The IP address of your access point. The default IP address is 10.0.0.10. To change it,

enter an unused IP address from the address range used on your LAN, or enable DHCP.

- IP Subnet Mask. The access point calculates the subnet mask based on the IP address that you

assign. Otherwise, you can use 255.255.255.0 (the default) as the subnet mask.

- Default Gateway. The IP address of the gateway for your LAN. For more complex networks,

enter the address of the router for the network segment to which the access point is connected.

The default is 0.0.0.0.

- DNS Server. The IP address for the primary Domain Name Server used by stations on your LAN.

The default is 0.0.0.0.

Click Save and Apply to take over changes applied to the Ethernet connection configuration.

Hint: In case you have selected DHCP as your Ethernet Connection configuration,

the static IP option is sued as failover static configuration in case no DHCP server is

present in the network.

Hint: In order to update network settings for you LAN configuration it may be

required to connect and disconnect the Ethernet cable from the LAN port of the

CU018.

3.2.2 Wireless Connection

The Wireless connection dialog allows you to connect the CU018 to wireless networks near you.

We do not recommend this connection type and you should use it only if no LAN network is available.

The wireless connection dialog lists all the wireless networks within the range of the CU018.

Add WIFI network

In order to connect to a wireless network, you have to enter the password in the Passphrase field and

click Add.

The successful connection to the wireless network is visualized with the checkmark on the left of the

SSID.

Update WIFI network

In order to update your password, you can change the Passphrase and click Update.

Delete WIFI network

In order to disconnect from the wireless network, click Delete.

3.2.3 Test Connection

Once you have successfully configured your Ethernet connection or Wireless connection properly with a

link to the Internet, you can test the configuration.

The result of a successful connection to the roofSec cloud service will be displayed in a separate

information dialog as shown in the following figure.

This does not imply that the authentication process is complete.

3.3 USER SETTINGS The last step of the initialization process is the application of the user settings to link the sensor data of

your building and/or roof to the corresponding building and/or roof in the roofSec cloud service

database.

It is mandatory that you use the correct activation key (see Activation key) for your building and/or

roof.

3.3.1 Authentication process

You can either use your registration account information or you can use the dialog to create a new

account as shown in the following figure.

1) Enter valid Email.

2) Enter the Password.

a. Reenter the password in case of creating a new account.

3) Enter the Activation key.

4) Click Finish configuration.

the network and user settings.

The connection status dialog box informs you accordingly as Connected as shown in the following figure.

3.3.2 Authentication validation

The email, password and activation key are determined to be a unique information that belongs

together. When you click Finish configuration, this information is validated at the roofSec cloud server

and the result will be displayed on the screen.

If the input parameters are invalid, a message is displayed that the login was not successful as shown in

the following figure.

3.3.3 Activation key

The activation key can be found in the planning report that you get from your supplier and should be

available at the construction site.

4 MANAGE THE SYSTEM

4.1 CHANGE THE LOGIN PASSWORD After you have successfully finished the configuration and authentication process, we recommend that

you change the default login password to a more secure password.

5.2 VIEW/UPDATE WIRELESS STATIONS If you want to change your wireless stations settings or you want to switch to a different wireless

station, you can always update these settings in the Network configuration page.

In order to keep the link to the roofSec cloud service active, you need to validate the connection status

anytime you change or update the network configuration settings.

Please refer to section Network configuration.

6 TROUBLESHOOTING AND DEBUGGING

6.1 TROUBLESHOOTING WITH THE LEDS

All LEDs are Off

You need to check the power connection of the power supply, the connection of the cables and wiring.

Processor board LEDs are Off

You need to check if the power supply is sufficient for 24V DC and 60W.

LAN LED is Off

You need to check the proper connection of the cables to the computer or switch/access point on the

hand and the CU018 LAN port on the other hand.

6.2 CANNOT CONNECT TO THE SYSTEM TO CONFIGURE IT You have multiple ways to connect to the system.

In the following section some typical issues are described:

- If you are using DHCP and the CU018 does not get an IP assigned by your DHCP server, please

check if MAC Filtering is disabled.

- If you are using static IP addresses, please check the static IP address configuration locally on

your computer. Please refer to your OS instruction on how to manage to do so.

- If you are using the roofSec-Portal as network connection no password is required. In order

cross check a successful network link with the CU018 network, you can check the connection

from your computer by pinging 10.3.141.1.

6.3 CANNOT CONNECT TO THE CLOUD TO COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION Please first check the Test connection function in the Network configuration page to verify that you

have an active link to the internet and the communication to the roofSec server is possible.

Please cross-check all your input parameters as this is most likely the reason that you can finish the

authentication process (be careful to use case sensitivity).

6.3.1 Conflicting Ethernet Connection and Wireless Connection

If you have configured a static IP for the Ethernet connection, the CU018 uses this interface as the

primary interface for the connection test.

In case you can’t establish a connection to the cloud Server, please check your settings and try either the

Ethernet connection settings via DHCP and/or Wireless connection settings having DHCP enabled.
